Beyond expectation
These are my third pair of ski boots. The first were sloppy and uncomfortable and the second which were fully custom fitted and adjusted never made me happy. Ski boots seemed to be heavy restricting clamps that were never tight enough to be responsive but always seemed to squeeze the fluid out of my feet nonetheless.
I bought the Scarpa Freedom SL to use both on-piste and for touring although I have only used them on piste so far using the alpine sole (which was not easy to get hold of). That is my only criticism; the boot fits the contours of my feet and allows me to feel more athletic, they are snug and stiff yet comfortable and so light. The walk mode makes it so easy to get around. In summary they are a joy.
I could not go back to a standard ski boot and whilst expensive, they are worth every penny. They are a game changer and no doubt others will try and copy so you could wait a few years but personally I would seek to avoid the restrictions of standard ski boots.

stiff and light but narrow and with a soft liner
As expected and advertised this boot is super light and stiff. The lateral stiffness is excellent thanks to the carbon in the shell and they are great for all conditions.
But they come up very narrow for a 101 last and are especially narrow in the toe box. I will have to take them back to get them blown wider having come from Garmont Axons with a 103 last.
The Intuition liner is great for the climb, but is soft and gives the boot an overall softer feel than the advertised 110. I've had to put Intuition Powewraps in to get a good stiff downhill feel.
